Bouie joins fellow Alabama commitment Chris Washington Jr., a top-ranked Tennessee prospect, as part of Alabama's promising 2026 recruiting class.

Coach Nate Oats has built a strong recruiting reputation, securing highly ranked classes for five consecutive years, and currently boasts two top-50 commitments in the 2026 cycle, a rare achievement.

Bouie, ranked No. 33 in the ESPN 100, chose Alabama after visiting last weekend, citing Coach Nate Oats' recruiting efforts and playing style as key factors.

Bouie is a versatile scorer with strong transition skills, potential on defense due to his length and instincts, and has room to improve his strength.

Bouie averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds on the Nike EYBL circuit, showcasing shooting ability with five three-pointers during July's Nike Peach Jam.

Washington, a 6-foot-9 forward ranked No. 41 nationally, committed to Alabama after demonstrating strong rebounding and offensive skills, despite planned visits elsewhere.

Top-35 wing Tarris Bouie committed to Alabama on Wednesday, becoming the second top-50 recruit in the 2026 class for the Crimson Tide.

Bouie developed a strong relationship with Coach Oats and assistant Preston Murphy, which influenced his decision, and he had previously narrowed his recruitment list to several schools including Alabama.

Alabama's 2026 recruiting efforts also include hosting top prospects like Ikenna Alozie and scheduled visits from Caleb Holt, Dylan Mingo, and Jaxon Richardson.
